Hello, lovely Biscuits :)

I left, went to U.S, ate some fried chicken that was served between two doughnuts as part of the breakfast menu in a diner in Georgia, realised my trip would never get better than that and so came home.

Missed this place so much might actually start posting gags again.

How are you all, you crazy diamonds? Has the deeply funny Dark Bill revealed themselves yet?

Yes it could. I came across double deep fried chicken at at truck stop in Texas at 3am. It looked like a way to get your lifetime supply of colesterol in one shot. The place also had the worst smelling toilets outside of a Bangkok railway station with more p*ss on the floor than a bog in a rural UK pub in the '80s, and that's going some. Quite a scary lack of aim from guys who were driving 40 tonne trucks in the dark.

Oh God biscuits, they are so freaking moreish. I wish we had them over here. No it was proper normally-has-jam-or-maple-syrup-or-a-hole in them doughnuts. God Bless America.

Not taking the piss there, I love that the food is so balls-out mad and there's none of that 'oh I musn't, ooh I'm being naughty' kind of thing that happens over here.

Also love the lack of health and safety. Went to a village with a train track running through it, lots of trains used it too, and there were no fences or signs or anything, you were simply trusted not to wander on to the tracks. The U.K could do with a bit more trust and a bit less safety I reckon.

Yep, US style Biscuits, mmmmmmmmm. I keep meaning to try to make them. My friend who lived in Texas was close to the railway line and, what with the cicadas, his back yard sounded like the start of KLF's "Chill Out" Album.

Sauce ..you putting in a shift today?
The roads were jam packed yesterday so you should be busy.
Just a thought - Have you got a pair of 36" waist - 31" leg denims in store, just cheap ones.
My flies have burst and the stuffings coming out.

I'm off today at long last, after what seems like weeks of almost full-time (covering for hols and swine flu). Unfortunately my co-manager has just resigned (she survived my humour for almost 2 years; can't complain. Though she does. Frequently.) so likely full time for a while once she departs in May. Meh.

36", 31" ... I doubt it* but will check next week, hon.

*One of the joys of charity shop work is receiving bundles of men's tousers: most are only fit for the rag bag. If a pair make it past an external examination (obvious dirt, fraying, missing button, broken zip) they generally fail a brave internal glance: stained gusset (due to the masculine dribbly willy tendancy).

Welcome back Shitsu! Hope to see you posting again ASAP.
You've not missed much apart from a bit of bitching and some great FPs, NiBs and Left alerts.
Oh, and Darkbill revealed himself as HRH Prince Ludwig of Hesse-Darmstadt - who knew?
